Welcome to A&GEL!

We’re thrilled to have you here. As you begin exploring A&GEL, we want to share a few thoughts to get you started on a good footing.

Learning New Tools Takes Time – And That’s Okay

We know that getting comfortable with new technology can feel challenging at first. Please remember: we’re here to support you every step of the way. Don’t hesitate to reach out if you have questions or if you are ever stuck or would like us to walk you through something.

AI tools like A&GEL are different from the ones before — they empower you directly. Think of it like having an army of assistants at your fingertips: they may not replace human judgment, but in many ways, they amplify your capabilities far beyond what was possible alone.

The best way to start learning is to start using A&GEL — we encourage you to explore freely. Try things out, make mistakes (the same safe kind), and discover what works best for you.

Progress at Your Own Pace

Think of skill-building like climbing a staircase. Start with the basics, and as you grow more confident, moving to the next level will feel much more natural. There’s no rush — this isn’t a race. Take the time you need to build a strong foundation.

Together, We Can Go Further

When teams and firms embrace A&GEL together, the benefits compound for everyone. Sharing knowledge and collaborating across your community of users creates a ripple effect that lifts all.

Welcome aboard — we’re excited to see what we can accomplish with A&GEL.

3 Key Habits

Just 3 Habits to Guide You On Your Journey

Getting started with A&GEL is about more than just typing a question and hitting enter in Chat. To truly harness the power of AI tools like A&GEL, you need to shift how you think about interacting with AI.

Habit 01

Give A&GEL Something to Work With

The most common mistake new users make is underestimating the importance of giving AI tools sufficient information to work with as a starting point. AI tools like A&GEL are not mind-readers — they are pattern-matchers. Vague questions produce generic answers; rich, specific context produces precise, actionable results.

Let's call this starting point "context." Think of context as the raw material A&GEL works with. When drafting a legal memo, don't just say "Summarize this case." Instead, upload the judgment, identify the key legal issue, and tell the AI who the audience is (or use pre-made prompts from the Prompt Library).

AI tools like A&GEL empower you directly — they amplify your capabilities, but only if you provide the direction. Without context, the AI is like a brilliant lawyer who hasn't been briefed on the facts, or a capable colleague who lacks the background information needed to do the job.

  • Give A&GEL specific documents before you prompt. Dragging and dropping a file onto Chat loads A&GEL's short-term memory with only that document — like the K-drama episode you just watched (it's all you want to talk about today). This creates tunnel vision for accurate outputs.
  • Working with A&GEL is not unlike working with a colleague — just as you would give a team member background information to help them along, the same applies here.
  • Does your prompt itself count as context? Yes. To A&GEL, the entire prompt is just a series of words to be processed. Ask better questions and you will get better answers.

✕ Don't: "Review this clause"

✓ Do: "Review this clause for the customer for any issues that relate to fees or financial matters."

Habit 02

Use LLMs as “Text Processors”, Not Knowledge Engines

It is crucial to understand what Large Language Models (LLMs) actually are. They are not databases of truth, nor are they substitutes for human judgment. Instead, think of an LLM as a high-speed CPU or processor for language and basic cognitive tasks.

An LLM excels at structuring information, identifying patterns, drafting text, and organising complex data. It is a tool for processing, not for deciding. You remain the judge, the strategist, and the final authority. The AI handles the heavy lifting — rephrasing, summarising, extracting clauses — while you apply your expertise to validate the output.

This distinction is vital: trust the AI to process, but never outsource your judgment. AI tools "may not replace human judgment, but in many ways, they amplify your capabilities."

Many users treat A&GEL like a simple chatbot, typing one long prompt and hoping for the best. Advanced users break down complex tasks into smaller, manageable ones. This technique, known as decomposition, often leads to higher quality results.

✕ Don't: "Prepare a report that captures all my concerns from document 1 and 2, summarise it into an executive summary, and combine both into one document."

✓ Do — break it down:

1. Summarise the concerns in document 1 and 2, one at a time.

2. Draft a report combining both summaries.

3. Create an executive summary from the report.

4. Append the executive summary to the start of the report.

Habit 03

Don’t Just Chat — Explore Other Features

By exploring features beyond simple chat — such as uploading documents, using specific templates, or iterating through steps — you gain granular control over the output.

Experimentation is key. Please experiment and explore the other features freely and try things out. Many of the features under the Specialised Modes are tuned for more accuracy and thoroughness. Discover which features work best for your workflow, and don't be afraid to make mistakes.

Skill-building is like climbing a staircase — start with the basics, and as you grow more confident, you will naturally move to more advanced techniques.

By mastering context, respecting the AI's role as a processor, and breaking down complex tasks, you will transform A&GEL from a novelty into an indispensable part of your daily practice.
